X-ray Polarization from Accreting Black Holes: Coronal Emission
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Julian H. Krolik
We present new calculations of X-ray polarization from accreting black holes (BHs), using a Monte-Carlo ray-tracing code in full general relativity. In our model, an optically thic…
X-ray Polarization from Black Holes in the Thermal State
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Julian H. Krolik
We present new calculations of X-ray polarization from black hole accretion disks in the thermally-dominated state, using a Monte-Carlo ray-tracing code in full general relativity.…
X-ray Timing of Stellar Mass Black Holes
John A. Tomsick, Ronald A. Remillard, Jeroen Homan +3
X-ray timing observations of accreting stellar mass black holes have shown that they can produce signals with such short time scales that we must be probing very close to the inner…
X-ray Polarization from Accreting Black Holes: II. The Thermal State
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Julian H. Krolik
We present new calculations of X-ray polarization from black hole (BH) accretion disks in the thermally-dominated state, using a Monte-Carlo ray-tracing code in full general relati…
Astro2010 Decadal Survey Whitepaper: Coordinated Science in the Gravitational and Electromagnetic Skies
Joshua S. Bloom, Daniel E. Holz, Scott A. Hughes +37
It is widely expected that the coming decade will witness the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). The ground-based LIGO and Virgo GW observatories are being upgrad…
